Semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine nurses in Japan; the respondents had extensive experience in providing nursing care to individuals with alcohol use disorder. The data were transcribed verbatim and analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. The thematic analysis yielded three themes regarding compassionate care provided by experienced nurses: (1) attempting to alleviate life-related distress and support social well-being; (2) building a secure base to support recovery; and (3) supporting the reformation of identity destabilised by alcohol use. Rather than focusing on drinking behaviour, the nurses focused on individuals' lived difficulties and suffering and provided realistic support without coercion. Moreover, even when relapse or setbacks occurred, nurses did not sever relationships; they continued treatment by ensuring that the individuals could always return to healthcare institutions for support. Overall, this study revealed that experienced nurses support the reconstruction of life narratives (re-storying) by integrating harm reduction, the concept of a secure base, and recovery-oriented practice through relationships. These findings present a relationship-centred recovery process model in addiction nursing that is not limited to abstinence outcomes. This proposed model may be utilised as a guide for novice nurses' education and clinical practice.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":14007,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mental Health Nursing","volume":"35 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2026-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147655273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a participatory action research design across 10 centres in Catalonia, Spain, 24 case managers and 105 patients engaged in two action-reflection cycles. Data from reflective diaries and focus groups were analyzed using inductive thematic analysis. Through cyclical observation and collaborative reflection, participants identified key facilitators and barriers to developing the therapeutic relationship and co-designed two practice innovations: (1) jointly-created informational materials clarifying case-management scope and expectations, and (2) regular mixed patient-professional reflective groups focused on the therapeutic process. Despite structural pressures, heavy workloads, service fragmentation, and limited opportunities for professional reflection, the participatory approach supported sustainable, relationally focused practice change grounded in patient-provider dialogue. Embedding structured reflective spaces within routine care emerged as a practical mechanism to consolidate therapeutic alliance and advance recovery-oriented practice. While findings apply across disciplines, they are particularly relevant to nursing-led and nurse-participating case-management teams, in which continuous therapeutic contact, coordination functions and relational expertise intersect. The study offers a replicable framework for enhancing person-centred care in community mental health settings, and it underscores the value of nurse-involved co-creation and structured reflection to maintain therapeutic presence, align expectations and integrate lived experience into ongoing quality improvement.</p>","PeriodicalId":14007,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mental Health Nursing","volume":"35 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2026-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13061650/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147641141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
